Dr. Rajesh Helavar Reviews

A 65-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural Doddaballapur presented with a large uterine fibroid causing severe anemia. Dr. Helavar performed uterine artery embolization as an alternative to hysterectomy. The minimally invasive procedure allowed her to preserve fertility and return to teaching within two weeks with dramatically improved quality of life.

A 32-year-old software engineer developed a rare arteriovenous malformation in his liver after a motorcycle accident. Dr. Helavar used advanced cone-beam CT guidance to precisely embolize the abnormal vessels. The patient made a complete recovery and returned to work at his tech company in Bengaluru within a month.

An 8-year-old girl from an underprivileged family was brought in with a massive lymphatic malformation in her neck threatening her airway. Dr. Helavar performed sclerotherapy using doxycycline, gradually reducing the mass over three sessions. The charity-funded treatment saved her from tracheostomy and she now attends school normally.

A 45-year-old construction worker with diabetes presented with a non-healing foot ulcer and critical limb ischemia. Dr. Helavar performed angioplasty and drug-eluting stent placement in the tibial arteries. The limb was salvaged, preventing amputation, though the patient required six months of wound care and lifestyle modifications.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman at 32 weeks gestation developed life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage during an emergency C-section. Dr. Helavar was called to the OR and performed emergent uterine artery embolization while obstetricians stabilized her. Both mother and baby survived without complications.

A 70-year-old farmer with chronic kidney disease needed dialysis access but had exhausted all conventional sites. Dr. Helavar created a complex transposed brachio-basilic fistula using ultrasound guidance. The procedure allowed the patient to continue hemodialysis without needing a catheter.

A 41-year-old restaurant owner presented with a large pancreatic pseudocyst causing gastric outlet obstruction. Dr. Helavar performed EUS-guided cystogastrostomy with lumen-apposing metal stent placement. The patient was eating normally within 48 hours and returned to managing his business in one week.

A 19-year-old college athlete developed a traumatic pseudoaneurysm in his femoral artery after a sports injury. Dr. Helavar used ultrasound-guided thrombin injection to obliterate the pseudoaneurysm in a 15-minute procedure. The patient resumed training in two weeks and competed nationally the following season.

A 55-year-old woman with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors to the liver was experiencing carcinoid syndrome. Dr. Helavar performed selective internal radiation therapy

A 6-month-old infant from a low-income family was diagnosed with a giant hemangioma compromising vision in her right eye. Dr. Helavar performed superselective embolization of the feeding vessels followed by medical therapy. The mass regressed completely, preserving normal visual development without surgery.

A 38-year-old banker with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia presented with recurrent epistaxis requiring frequent transfusions. Dr. Helavar performed embolization of the bilateral internal maxillary arteries using particles and coils. The patient's bleeding episodes reduced by 90%, eliminating transfusion dependence.

A 62-year-old retired army officer developed a bile leak after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Dr. Helavar performed percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and fistula embolization using n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue. The leak sealed completely within 72 hours, avoiding more invasive surgical revision.

A 23-year-old medical student presented with varicocele causing infertility. Dr. Helavar performed retrograde sclerotherapy of the gonadal vein as an outpatient procedure. Six months later, the patient's semen parameters normalized, and his wife conceived naturally shortly thereafter.
